Sub-Project Description
Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Development project (HPHDP), Himachal Pradesh in
support of World Bank is proposing for the expansion of Controlled Atmosphere (CA)
storage facility at Rohru, which is presently having a storage capacity of 700 Tons. The
existing facility is proposed to upgrade into a multistoried structure to increase the
capacity up to 2000 tons to meet the requirement of increased production of apples and
become centers of excellence for post-harvest management of handling fruits. The
Packing line would be upgraded to a four line system from the existing two lines. The CA
storage facility is located in an area of 1.93 acres and connected to SH 10 at a distance of
0.04 km (S). The water required for floor washing is 12 KL once in a year and Fog Nozzle
with 50 KL once in 15 days. The total power requirement (CA Stores & Grading and
Packing) of 450 kVA will be sourced from Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board. The
waste water generated from floor washing/cleaning accounts for around 12 KL annually,
and no other waste water is generated from the existing plant. Domestic waste water
shall be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit or shall be treated in the portable STP
and part of the water shall be used for greenbelt, dust suppression and the excess shall
be discharged to streams. All the solid waste generated from the CA stores shall be
disposed as per the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016. The proposed project is a
Controlled Atmosphere storage facility (CA stores) and do not use any toxic/harmful
chemicals during the storage. The plant also does not release any harmful gases in to the
atmosphere during the operations. Hence around 2 km of study area is identified all
around the project site to collect the baseline data for air, water, soil, noise, ecological
and social considerations etc., and the environmental impacts expected to be identified
for the project is also reported within the 2 km of study area.

Environmental Screening and Classification
(A) Impact Identification
Has sub-project a tangible impact
on the environment?
The Controlled Atmosphere Storage Facility (CA Stores)
at Rohru Village, Shimla District, Himachal Pradesh, is
proposed to be upgraded and made into a multi
storied structure to increase the capacity from 700 MT
to 2000 MT. Some of the common equipment and
units in Controlled atmosphere storage facilities are
compressor, pumps, nitrogen control unit,
temperature control unit, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
control unit etc.
The air pollution identified from CA storage unit is
mainly due to DG sets, pumps, vehicles etc., within the
facility. The environmental management plans will be
designed to reduce or minimize the air emissions and
will restrict the concentration levels within the
threshold limit values so that they will not exceed the
regulatory standards. Similarly, the liquid effluents
generated from facility mainly comprise of organic
pollutants and a suitable sewage treatment plant will
be designed comprising preliminary, primary and
secondary treatment facilities to meet all the
specified parameters for discharge. The solid waste
generated during all the unit operations is collected
properly and segregated into organic and inorganic
materials. The recyclables like plastics, packaging
materials etc., are disposed to authorized
recyclers/agents.
By adopting suitable environmental management plans
and treatment techniques, the environmental impacts
arising out of the CA Store facility will be minimized to
acceptable limits. Thus, there will not be any impact on
the surrounding environment due to the CA Storage
unit at Rohru.

What are the significant beneficial
and adverse environmental effects
of the sub- project?
The anticipated environmental effects of the sub-
project include:
Air pollution
Water pollution
Solid waste generation
Noise pollution
Soil pollution
Flora and Fauna disturbances
The liquid effluents mainly consist of suspended
matter, BOD and COD, and are treated in a suitable
treatment plant to minimize the adverse impacts on
the environment. The solid waste generated during all
the unit operations are collected properly and
segregated into organic and inorganic materials. The
recyclables like plastics, packaging materials etc., are
disposed to authorized recyclers/agents.
Due to the expansion and up gradation with advanced
process facilities, there is an expected significant
improvement in quality of the product and also in
overall environmental aspects related to the storage
facility. The people who are involved in the project will
get benefited in terms of Environmental Health &
Safety improvements made within the project
activities. The quality and standard of living of the
people is also expected to improve along with the
benefits to economy of the region, due to the
proposed project.
Substantial mitigation measures to abate
environmental instabilities have been proposed, and
are discussed in the following sections and
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)
report.
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Private Limited Page 4
Does the sub-project have any
significant potential impact on the
local communities?
The expansion/up gradation of CA storage unit at
Rohru is mainly to introduce the modern technology
which will enhance the capacity, cooling efficiency and
also reduce the environmental effects on the human
population working within the industry. The advanced
technologies adopted will increase the cooling
efficiency and the Environmental Health & Safety
aspects of the workplace. As the present storage
capacities are increased from existing capacities more
manpower will be involved and to supplement this
local community will be approached for employment.
As the employment potential increases, the local
communities are benefitted economically and the
quality of life of communities will be enhanced. The
environmental management plans prepared for CA
storage unit at Rohru by introducing BATNEEC systems
will significantly improve the environmental conditions
within the process locations and reduce the
environmental impacts in the surrounding working
areas. Hence, the proposed up gradation project will
not have any significant potential adverse impacts on
the local communities. However, the following minor
impacts may be envisaged:
The project would increase floating population
and influx of labor and may adversely spread
certain communicable diseases, if not checked.
Similarly, the frequent movement of vehicles
would create problems related to traffic
congestion. It may also lead to air and noise
pollution in the local dwellings.
No acquisition of local land is envisaged for the
expansion of the project.
There may not be any adverse impact on
indigenous population and their livelihoods due
to the project.
The project would result to creation of jobs for the local
people and also leads to the growth of ancillary services
in the local areas.

What impact has the sub-project
on the human health?
The CA storage unit mainly generates liquid and solid
waste from different sections like floor cleaning and
washing areas. The environmental control measures to
be provided and advanced modern equipment to be
introduced in the CA storage unit will drastically
reduce the air emissions, leakages etc. and closed
pipeline systems are used to carry the liquid effluents
to the treatment plant for final disposal. In addition to
the above, all the personal protective equipment in
terms of masks, eye protective, hand gloves, leg boots,
specified aprons, helmets etc. will also protect the
workers’ health to a great extent to minimize the
exposure to cell pollutant parameter. The
environmental management protection equipment
provided at the CA storage areas will meet the
regulatory standard levels for the workers to work for
8 hour shifts. The fresh air circulation by providing
proper ventilation and sufficient lighting by regularly
monitoring using the lux meter will also improve the
in-house working area atmosphere for the entire
workforce. Regular health checkups by the project
management will be practiced at the CA Storage unit
for all categories of workers, to update the health data
and to identify any health issues in advance so that
proper mitigation steps can be taken.
The project would also have an impact on health of
local communities due to water contamination,
emissions, dust, and traffic pollution during the
expansion/up gradation and operational phases which
will be nullified by implementing a proper
environmental management plan.

(B) Impact Mitigation
What alternatives to the sub-
project design have been
considered and what mitigation
measures are proposed?
The CA storage unit identifies some of the key areas
that can ensure the safety of operations
Improved CA storage facility safety systems
Robust traceability systems
Crisis management system
Risk identification and communication system
Best available techniques not entailing excessive cost
(BATNEEC) system will be adopted wherever possible
to minimize the adverse impacts of the CA Storage unit
operations. The system will use the most efficient
pollution control techniques maintaining the balance
between the economic costs and environmental costs.
These techniques will considerably benefit the facility
in optimizing the storage capacity and environmental
impacts.
Appropriate mitigation measures are suggested
to control of air, water, noise pollution, solid
waste generation etc. are discussed in detail in
the following sections and ESIA report.
The workers are suggested to be provided with
necessary Personal Protective Equipment while
working in facilities and periodic health check-
ups for the workers and local communities are
suggested.

A. General
Rehabilitation and /or
Construction Activities
Air Quality Pre-Construction & Construction Phase:
Most of the construction dust will be generated from the movement of construction vehicles
on unpaved roads. Unloading and removal of soil material acts as a potential source for dust
nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below
Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the project area will be done, this activity will be
carried out at least twice a day, as per the need frequency will be increased like on windy
days. In this way around 50% dust reduction will be achieved from the contributing
exposed surface.
The duration of stockpiling of excavated mud will be as short as possible as most of the
material will be used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.
Temporary thin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be used to erected dust dispersion
into surrounding site atmosphere or all around the project site as barrier for dust control.
Tree plantations around the project boundary will be initiated (where ever required) at
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. Page 16
Activity Parameter Mitigation Measures Checklist
the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation or by
regular watering so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.
All vehicles carrying raw materials will be instructed to be covered with tarpaulin / plastic
sheet, unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighborhood, the
external part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets.
Operation Phase:
DG set are to be provided with a stack height of 30m as per MoEF&CC guidelines for
proper dispersion of sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.
Internal roads will be concreted / asphalted to reduce dust emissions.
Vehicles with PUC certification would be allowed for entering into the plant to avoid
pollution of exhaust gases.
Speed restriction will be followed within the project area and speed breakers will be
provided at entry and exit points with proper sign board.
Odor:
Proper air flow control or negative air pressure within the grading and packing unit,
either through innovative design interventions, or installing odor control equipment will
be maintained to abate odor.
Fruit waste dump area will be delineated from the main activity area so as to eliminate
potential public exposure to odor.
Odor control equipment as mist air dry fog odor suppression systems or atomizers can be
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. Page 17
Activity Parameter Mitigation Measures Checklist
installed at odor generation source.
Neutralizers such as sodium hypochlorite, potassium permanganate or commercial
preparations as Ecosorb can be applied to control odor nuisance
Noise Pre-Construction & Construction Phase:
Noise generating equipment will be used only during day time for brief period based on
its requirement.
Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels. Where ever possible, the
noise generating equipment will be kept away from the human habitation.
Temporary thin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the noise
generating activity spread or all around the project site as barrier for minimizing the noise
travel to surrounding areas.
All vehicles entering into the project will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not
blow horns unless it is required.
Operation Phase:
Acoustic enclosures, noise barriers or shields will be provided for DG set and pumps etc., and
wherever possible they will be mounted on anti-vibration pads to minimize the noise. Regular
maintenance will be carried out as per the schedule prescribed by the manufacturer for smooth
functioning.
Water Quality Pre-Construction & Construction Phase:
The total water required for construction is sourced from natural stream from nearby
mountain.
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. Page 18
Activity Parameter Mitigation Measures Checklist
The raw water received is stored in a tank and used for construction activities.
During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water
from the site gets collected to working pit and if any over flow is, will be diverted to
nearby greenbelt / plantation area.
Operational phase
The total water requirement is about 12 KL once in a year and Fog Nozzle with 50 Kl once
in 15 days.
Water used for domestic activities should meet IS 10500:2012 drinking water standards
and inland surface water standards IS 2296-1992.
The treated wastewater can be reused for floor washing, vehicle washing, greenbelt, dust
suppression etc.
Waste management Pre-Construction & Construction Phase:
Waste produced from the construction activities within the facility area of 0.25 acre
will be regularly collected in a storage area and protected with proper sheets to prevent
any potential waste scatter
Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as
possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, leveling, making roads/
pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land
filled.
Construction waste generated will be deposited at collection center made by local body
or handed over to the authorized processing facilities of construction and demolition
waste.
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. Page 19
Activity Parameter Mitigation Measures Checklist
Construction activities may generate some quantity of muck, which is managed by mixing
it with straw, stone dust or rice husk, to reduce the adverse impacts.
Operation phase:
The domestic solid waste is anticipated 8Kg/day during season, and 4 Kg/day during non-season
generated will be collected from processing area and brought to one place, and it will be
segregated into recyclable, and non-recyclable. The recyclables will be disposed to local
vendors and compostable (rotten fruit waste) will be converted to the vermin compost in the
dump yard, whereas the non-compostable solid waste will be disposed into local municipal
bins. There will be a minimal waste from the project site.
B. Individual wastewater
treatment system Water Quality
The wastewater generated will be collected and sent to water treatment scheme and domestic
water will be diverted to portable STP or septic tank. The treated water will be used for
gardening and dust suppression etc.

H Traffic and
Pedestrian Safety
Direct or indirect
hazards to public
traffic and pedestrians
by construction
activities
Vehicular emissions are the major source of air quality impacts in the study area. The
principal cause of air pollution during the construction phase is the diesel-powered vehicles
used in haulage of aggregates, earth and other construction material. Gaseous emissions like
NOX, CO and Hydro Carbon might be released from the vehicular movement, which has a
direct impact on the environment. Increase in the traffic in the study area has a direct impact
on the existing natural environment such as air quality and the ambient noise levels as a
heavy release of automobile exhaust and vehicular noise generation is envisaged.
Impacts:
Minor effects on health of nearby residents such as headache, cough and respiratory
problems etc.
Increase in accidents due to the speed of the vehicles may be observed.
Mitigation measures :
Existing roads have to be repaired; new roads and road intersections have to be laid.
The construction material should be transported during non-peak hours for avoiding
heavy traffic.
The construction material must be placed inside the boundary of facility without
causing inconvenience to the pedestrians and avoiding unnecessary traffic jam
Only trained and licensed drivers should be allowed to access vehicles used for transport
of materials to project site.
However the present road due to the up gradation/expansion activity and increase in the
M/s. Ramky Enviro Services Pvt. Ltd. Page 21
